- AAmbervipNew York City •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI love this place. The price for the value is good, the sushi is always fresh, staff is friendly, and they have a decent variety without it being overwhelming choices.More infoTuna BarPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Old City•4.9
- MMichaelChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoSecond time here and it needs to be much sooner before our third visit and beyond... The food, as expected, was exceptional; the seasonal offerings were a delight to go through and the omakase did not disappoint. Even the uni was delightful, and I've never enjoyed that any other time I've tried it. The sake offerings were great and I have a new producer to dive into after having a flight. What a wonderful way to spend an anniversary and introduce others to the experience!More infoMorimotoPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Center City•4.7
- TtuyennvipPhiladelphia County •11 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024We had a great experience from start to finish. Every piece of Omakase we received was fresh and delicious! Each piece was crafted uniquely and was paired perfectly with other ingredients. The ambiance was a fun vibe! Staff went above and beyond for my husband and I. We also ordered A la carte pieces that were not apart of the omakase package. I highly recommend trying the Big Mac, Toro Negi roll, and the Spicy Salmon Yuzo Roll (this is spicy if you like heat). Everything paired nicely with The Yamazaki. We’ll definitely return back!More infoSushi by Bou - Midtown PA @ RawPrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• Center City•4.6
- EEricvipLondon •14 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 13, 2024We had a 12-piece Omakase dinner, served to a total of 10 people by two chefs. The “experience” was terrific, and the chef was very informative and entertaining. The food was great, with some interesting types of sushi that we’d never had before. The food was prepared well and we were given information about it to make it more than just eating 12 small pieces of fish (I should say 11 pieces of fish and one piece of steak topped with sea urchin). It’s not cheap, and you need to factor this in to the decision about whether to go here, but if you’re looking for a great place for sushi with a different approach to serving it, I highly recommend it. This is our second time going there and we’ll be going back.More infoSushi by Bou - Fishtown PA @ Izakaya FishtownPrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• Fishtown•4.7
- AAlexisPhiladelphia County •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 10, 2024Made a reservation for a birthday party, server was phenomenal, staff was very kind, restaurant was clean and food was awesome. Great assortment of options for a group with mixed dietary restrictions and allergies. Also server made sure to bring back cooler bag and all the cold packs I had brought with the cake at the end of our meal. Great time had by entire group.More infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Philadelphia, PA | Logan Square (The Granary)Price: Moderate• Japanese• Art Museum•4.8
